Callum Whitty opened the scoring in the fifth minute firing his penalty low and left – with Weait going the other way – after the goalkeeper was adjudged to have fouled Davies inside the box.

The visitors continued to press but found themselves trailing as Heath scored with their first two shots in the twelfth and 27th minutes.

Firstly, Matt Stockill’s corner was over the goalkeeper and defence as Jamie Tripp was completely unmarked and afforded a simple header in from close range.

The second goal was a nice flowing move with Dan Burnell receiving the ball wide as the Robins defence were pulled apart with the Flackwell striker picking out captain Ben Sturgess who unselfishly teed up Dan Rapley for an easy finish.

Manager Mark Tallentire must have been wondering how his side trailed at half time with fourteen shots to the hosts three efforts, especially with captain Carl Davies heading Lee Boon’s corner onto the right post on forty minutes.

The second half lacked the fluency of the opening period but Flackwell nearly extended their lead ten minutes in when Chris Grace tipped an effort onto the bar.

Cornell claimed for a penalty after going to ground inside the box on the hour but no penalty was awarded. Must debate inside the ground as to whether it was a penalty with reactions mixed.

Tallentire will be left to rue having seven players unavailable as the starting eleven featured four midfield players who are all attacking minded and unfortunately, it left the Robins with a soft underbelly tonight.

One bright spark was Khalid Senussi (pictured top) who was the standout player for Bracknell, a real live wire throughout.
